Welcome to Alliston Community Christian School
A KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 8 CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN ALLISTON, ON
At ACCS, education experiences are centred on what Christ can do in and through our students. Our students are learning to participate in the story God has established.
“Be filled with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV)
Our Vision
To make a Christ-centred education that challenges culture accessible to every Christian family.

Our Core Values
We point our students to Christ.
Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything we do. He defines salvation, love, wisdom, and service. Therefore, we strive to foster Christ-likeness in each of our students. We want them to be discipled with Christian love and truth so that they are a light to the world.
Our education is transformational.
We want our students to be a light in the world. We teach our students to develop a Biblical worldview with positive attitudes to oneself, situations, and others. We foster Christ-like respect, courtesy and love. We teach our students to show responsibility and concern for the rights and needs of others.
We educate each student uniquely.
We employ a variety of learning opportunities so that each student will learn life skills, such as research, collaboration, and communication. We aim to develop our students by recognizing each child’s unique personality and gifts so that each student will grow up to serve both the church and community.
Our school is embedded in Community.
As a school, we want to engage our local community. We seek to ensure that ACCS will continue to be an integral part of the community of Alliston for years to come. We seek to meet the needs of those who need help to be at the school. As our school is supported by a diverse body of believers, we work to develop our relationship with the churches. We also aim to connect with our alumni and community supporters regularly.
Letter from the Principal
Discover the Possibilities at Alliston Community Christian School!
Thank you for considering Alliston Community Christian School (ACCS) for your family! Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share how Christ-centred education can make a lasting difference in their lives.
Our theme for the 2026-2027 school year, Mission Possible: Being God’s Agents of Change in the World, reflects our commitment to equipping students to discover their God-given gifts, grow in their faith, and use their learning to make a meaningful difference in the world around them. At ACCS, education is about more than academic achievement. It is about nurturing the whole child and helping each student discover their place in God’s story.
ACCS is more than a school; it is a community where students, families, and staff learn, grow, and serve together. We believe that meaningful education happens through relationships, shared experiences, and active engagement in the life of the school. From classroom learning and chapel to special events, service opportunities, and community gatherings, we seek to create a place where every student is known, every family is valued, and everyone has opportunities to contribute and belong. Together, we encourage one another to live out our faith and make a difference in our school, our community, and the world.
We invite you to book a school tour and education consultation. We understand that choosing the right school comes with many questions, and we would love to walk alongside you as you explore the possibilities for your child’s education.
Perhaps you have questions about curriculum, Individual Education Plans (IEPs), Student Support Services, or our Biblical Throughlines and how they shape the learning experience. Whatever your questions may be, we are here to help you navigate the educational landscape and discover what a meaningful, purposeful, Christ-centred education can look like for your family.
With more than 45 years of history, ACCS is proud of its legacy of helping students explore their abilities, develop their gifts, and discover their place in God’s unfolding story. Our dedicated team is passionate about learning, committed to student growth, and eager to partner with families throughout each child’s educational journey.
Come and discover how Alliston Community Christian School can help your child thrive in learning, grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and embrace their mission to be God’s agent of change in the world!
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming your family into the ACCS community.
